Lavender-pink double flowers cluster on slender branching stems. Ragged Robin will rock your garden all summer long. Abundant showy flowers are sterile, so no seeding! Prefers a moist, well-drained site. Flower stems may darken with a burgundy blush throughout the growing season. Lychnis Petite Jenny is a noteworthy pollinator attractor. Butterflies, hummingbirds and bees will add additional color and movement throughout its pretty blossoms. Not favored by deer. Native to Europe and Asia, it grows there along roads and in moist pastures and meadows. Lovely around the edge of ponds.

Lychnis General Information

Lychnis are old-fashioned, hardy, trouble-free plants. Reliable and long lived. Flowers are attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. Long-blooming flowers are beautiful fillers for cut flower arrangements. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Lychnis Plant Care

Cut back plant by 1/3 when first blooms begin to fade. Divide periodically in spring. Prefers a well-drained winter site.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
